New Android UCI/XB engine: Wyldchess 1.5

Wyldchess is a UCI and Chess Engine Communication Protocol compliant open source chess engine by Manik Charan, licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0, written in C/C++, first released in October 2016. Origin of ideas and implementations are documented inside the source code, e.g. tapered eval SIMD score or SEE from Stockfish. Since version 1.5, released in June 2017, WyldChess supports Syzygy Bases.

The engine is now ported to Android twice, first by the author and secondly by Alexei. At present i'm not able to get what i need from either. Manik's crashes on load and Alexei's thinks for ever without sending any move to Chess for Android.

If you can run Wyldchess on your device without issues, share the recipe here.
